And if you scroll down, it shows cover pictures that look way different then mine even though its of volume one and I bought volume one.. Why is this? (the red cover is WAY cooler looking than the cover I got)

And lastly, which IS the proper name? Erementar Gerad or Elemental Gelade? Mine says "Elemental Gelade" but the pictures on wikipedia say "Erementar Gerad"

Btw, this is the first manga I've ever bought so sorry if my first 2 questions have obvious (to you guys) answers.

I think the manga's still in serialization. The last chapter I read involved Viro.

Those are the original Japanese versions. Blame Tokyopop for being cheap in the cover dept.

Hi,
Never read this manga but I think the cover difference is due to different versions published in Japan and overseas. It's very common that oversea version may have a different cover than Japanese ones, and that very cool red cover is in Japanese. I noticed for myself the manga Angel Sanctuary has a completely different cover in English too.

If you read the wikipedia page carefully, there is a section below: "Different Translations", which explains the title name and I quote:

"The title, which, at first, was officially transcribed as Erementar Gerad which was later changed to Elemental Gelade"

There are a couple more translation differences below which I believe will clear your further doubt when you read through the volume.

Again if you read the wikipedia, it says only two volumes are released in North America and the third is about to be on Mar 13, 2007.

Please tell us how you like the manga next time, by the way, I live in Canada too.

I love the manga. The fight scenes aren't as cool of course because fight scenes when animated are much more intense. Most of the characters look the same except for Kuea, which looks way cooler in the manga (shes got more chains on her) also the meeting between Ren and Coud is a bit different. The manga in general is A LOT funnier than the anime, and I personally prefer it over the anime.

It is. But the anime was totally a original work, not based on anything.

The anime is based off of the earlier volumes of the manga, albeit with some original material added. The anime ending is completely original work, however, with no relation to the manga.

The Elemental Gelade manga (red) is still on-going, as is Elemental Gelade: Flag of the Blue Sky (blue). It's been speculated that EG Blue proceeds parallel to the events of EG Red, and with the release of EG Blue volume 4, that theory has been confirmed. Whereas Red focuses on Cou, Ren, Cisqua and co., the Blue story stars Melfondo (cisqua's sister), Wolx, and Acheaburca Fuajarl, the princess of the kingdom of Fuajarl.
